Lol may have been a 400 before stitching issue

I'll take that. I'll DM you for payment shortly.

Hi,

I am interested. Do you know what model? Also some pics, especially of the stitching issue would be great.

Cheers

I am also interested. Any further pics. Size suitable for someone at 6ft 1?

Crickey! Not sure if the weight's right - it's supposedly heavier than my PHD summer bag which has down <spinal tap>all the way round</spinal tap> I have one of the older ones. That weighs 400g, there seem to be more fill in the newer models. Fits a balloon bed inside for err.... ultimate comfort?

hey greg, if you still have the uncle john canti forks I would be interested. Thinking for my surly to get a bit of weight off it from the steel forks. If you know the steerer length that would be great, otherwise if they don't fit i'll offer them free again as a pass on to someone else who finds th...

Had a go at this over the last couple of days. A great route! Really varied trails and quite an epic for my first time riding in the Lakes. I have run and raced there for years but first time ever I was sat on a bike. Got last train up to Appleby in Westmoreland on Sunday then biked onto the tops ne...

I did it last year the week before the event as just a couple of nights away. Seemed I went the wrong way round though and went clockwise like the gps route shows? I can tell you about the route but only what its like to do it the wrong way. Some of it makes more sense now. Suppose I'll have to do i...

Yep out tonight straight from work for a bivvy then straight into work in the morning.

Not quite sure the logistics of it all yet, just packed my bags last night so I suppose I need to plan something.

Weather looking great here for a quick overnight stay.

Anyone know why Guy Martin is not on the tracker?

So finished reinforcing d rings and done drawstring. Bloody hell that was a bit fiddly.

Weighs in at exactly 600grams. Few little messy bits but really quite neat for my first myog.

Question is what next?

Nearly finished my quilt. Decided on pertex outer throughout, climashield apex that should get me near 4 degrees. I need to straw a drawstring to the bottom and I have added d rings along the side, these need to be reinforced. Its coming along well though for a first MYOG project https://www.dropbox...

Not sure why you'd use a windproof material for the inner other than simplicity in purchasing Simplicity of purchase yep, also the lighterweight stuff seems to be windproof by default. So top material http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Ripstop-Nylon-PTX-Quantum-downproof-35g-qm::1567%7B1%7D346.html...

I have to admit I skim read the dew point stuff on the post. Re-reading the article and your posts, it would suggest that a good wind-proof and shower-proof outer is a good idea but for the inner of the quilt, something a bit more breathable and less windproof would be good (and cheaper). At least t...

Fair point about bivvys.

Wouldn't the breath-ability of material stop any condensation being built up though? Same as a non breathable bivvy can be pretty bad for a down bag?

Can see that's fine for a stand alone quilt but maybe not for a top quilt with down underneath?

Cheers for that, was looking at their quilt as a bit of inspiration but hadn't noticed the link.

This was the other one I was reading http://andy-kirkpatrick.com/articles/view/double_up

Hi all, first post, regular lurker I am looking to make a synthetic quilt as both a stand alone lightweight quilt and also as a booster for a down Rab top bag (one of those bags with down just on the top weighing in at roughly 400g). I am guessing a quilt on top of a bag will damage loft therefore t...
